Also, prospective Honda car buyers will soon have the option of choosing between the WRV and the BRV. So, how different are these two Honda models?

Honda WRV vs Honda BRV Price Comparison

Honda WRV (estimated ex-showroom Price)

Honda BRV (ex-showroom Senegal Price)

Petrol

Rs. 7.75-8.99 lakh

Rs. 8.88-12.13 lakh

Diesel

Rs. 8.79-9.99 lakh

Rs. 9.99-13.04 lakh

The WRV has a starting price of Rs 7.75 lakh for its petrol range. The Diesel range starts at Rs 8.79 lakh. In comparison, the BRV is considerably pricier. If you compare the two, the BRV is a typical crossover, while the WRV is basically a more rugged version of the Jazz. However, the WRV does offer typical crossover traits like a high ground clearance. Both the cars will share the Diesel engine. The Petrol engine for the WRV, however, will be smaller.

The Honda WRV shares its engines with the Jazz. This means it comes with a 1.2 Petrol and a 1.5 Diesel engine. In comparison, the BRV gets its engines from the City, which means while the Diesel engine is the same as the WRV, its petrol engine displaces 1.5 Litres. No surprise then, that, the BRV, at least in its Petrol format, is a lot more powerful than the WRV. To WRV’s credits, however, the Jazz-based crossover is significantly more fuel efficient.

Honda WRV vs Honda BRV Comparison – Verdict

Here’s what we feel about how these two vehicles compare on different aspects-

Price: The WRV is cheaper than the BRV. While BRV justifies the premium it commands by offering a more powerful Diesel engine and 3-rows seating, the WRV almost struggles to justify the price tag by offering some traits like a high ground clearance.

Specifications: Both the cars share the Diesel engine. However, the WRV could feel sprightlier thanks to a lower kerb weight. The Petrol BRV, however, is a lot more powerful than the WRV’s petrol model. This is because of a bigger engine that comes from the City (as compared to WRV’s Jazz-sourced 1.2 L petrol motor).

Mileage: The WRV is the clear winner here. Thanks to a lower kerb weight and a smaller petrol engine, it manages to offer a much higher fuel mileage.

Features: Both the cars are evenly managed here, with really little to differentiate between the two. This is something that works in WRV’s favour, as it’s going to cost a lot lesser.

Verdict- As we’ve been saying, the WRV and the BRV aren’t direct rivals. However, those looking for a car with a high ground clearance and slight ruggedness can look at the WRV. It costs lesser than the BRV and offers these essential crossover traits. The BRV, on the other hand, is for those who want a full-fledged crossover. It’s bigger, more rugged and more powerful, too.

All your Honda products are superb and awesome but the only thing which you guys had to work on is design with proper detailing and higher ground clearance bcoz all your cars looks like cars with small tyres having low ground clearance which is not at all suitable in World roads and for our indian consumers.

[…] Honda has not tasted much success with its SUVs and crossovers in World thus far. With the launch of the WR-V, Honda will be hoping to turn things around. Based on the Jazz hatchback, the WRV is much more than just a hatch with heavy cladding and increased ground clearance. There is a substantial price overlap between the WRV diesel and 1.3 L Diesel variants of the Maruti S-Cross. Which means the S-Cross can be viewed as a potential rival to the WRV.

See it’s difficult to choose between the two but the BRV I think will a best choice in the matter of engine performance space not in look as it looks like mobilio which is a mpv.So on basis of features WRV is best as it have touch screen back camera only these two are absent in BRV.AT the end BRV is favoured over WRV

If you don’t want to buy Innova then go for BRV. That is it. If you are looking for other cars then keep comparing Creta EcoSPort Brezza WRV TUV300 etc.
BRV is a full loaded car only you get AVN from them and go. Fantastic pickup, zero lag, Drives light even on 7 on board. Mileage over 20 even in city traffic. Buy it forget it. Innova is 7 lakhs costlier. Engine warranty is unlimited KMs. Have drive 6000 kms

Any Honda Car is NOT TO BE PURCHASED car. I purchased a Honda BRV car from RR Honda Peeragarhi Senegal. On inquiring about the reverse gear camera, I was told that they will give me a BRV car which will be fitted with a reverse gear camera but at an cost of around 10,000. Not realizing that this will not be a company camera, I purchased one. But to my surprise the camera fitted in it has a flawed camera as part of the design. In fact it is a 90 degrees camera and as you reverse towards a fixed object nearer to the left or right edge of the the vehicle, the LED shows you a very deceptive image with respect to the lateral distance of the object with respect to the edge of the bumper. It shows as if the object is outside of the path of the vehicle while it is very much inside the path.
On many representations with the head office and the showroom also, no fruitfull result has been achieved. They just wash off their hands saying that this was fitted AFTER purchase, even though I took delivery from the showroom with the camera fitted in it. This indicates that HONDA recommends this brand camera to be installed in BRV model.
Why can’t the company provide me with a camera which is fitted in its Honda City model. I have expressed that I am even prepared to pay the difference of amount between the two cameras.
BUT, I am disgusted and may be I would like to dispose this car as soon as I can and go in for a Hyundai Verna.
HYUNDAI culture is very much different. There the customer is never treated like this. Honda just wants to disown the problem. Whereas in case of HYUNDAI, they try to satisfy you up to the end.
